From April 4, David Jones in Rundle Mall will be introducing 5 new brands to their cosmetics department - Giorgio Armani, Kiehls, Molton Brown, SKII and also a very standout-ish MAC counter. Some great additions I think.

Do those of you interstate already have these brands in your DJ's stores?

WOO HOO Adelaide so usually misses out! :champagne:

I know Melbourne and Sydney already have these brands. Tassie only has M.A.C from that lot you mentioned.

I think Myer has more brands in Adelaide. Still waiting on Pout though

Great new additions for Adelaide BM. :glee:

These counters exist at DJ's Melbourne and I particularly love Georgio Armani. This is a really top end Brand, from the beautiful packaging through to the pigments and textures.

Pout has been discontinued in Australia so unfortunately you won't be getting Pout. I was devastated when it was discontinued.

Oh No! I wanted those pink makeup brushes so bad!!!

You can still order from the U.K but will cost $$$!! www.pout.co.uk

Hmmm, I guess I'll wait and put in an order with my ever reliable mum for when she jets off next. Poor thing, my Sephora order was about $600!

Lol :chuckle::chuckle: Love your work girlfriend

Oh No! I wanted those pink makeup brushes so bad!!!

Me too! I was pretty upset also when I found out that Pout was going!

How great! It's a year too late for me, but so glad Adelaide is getting these brands.

Loola you can benefit when you go home for a visit! :chuckle:

I am going to Adelaide In June. Can't wait. It will be my first time there for a while.

Great post! Keeping us up to date.

:typing:

Yay adelaide!!!

Hubby wants to move to Adelaide - I guess DJ's is a good start. Is there M.A.C. in Adelaide?

I love Adelaide Rosie. My Darling and I have both always said we could relocate their in our twilight years.

Not a MAC store rosie, but theres a large MAC counter in myer (city store). The weather in adelaide would be suited to what you're looking for, and its not too far away from tassie for you to visit when necessary

I have never been to Adelaide. I would SO come visit you if you lived there Rosie! :waving:

My parents are relocating to Adelaide. They just bought a house there. So I will also be spending alot of time there

Yay Rosie, you wont be alone! :glee::hugs:

Myer, M.A.C. DJ's and the promise of Adorables - I might let him think he's won this one when all the other nonsense is over, and we are 'seriously' looking to move.

Mr12 & I are already looking, but hubby is just blue-skying.:typing:

hubby is just blue-skying.:typing:

Men! :shakehead:

Yup, he is a sad case. Has always said he wants to live in Adelaide. If I let him think he has won, I can con a shopping trip out of him though!

TigerEyes, what else is there to buy in Adelaide?

:chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:
best we start making you a list my dear!!! :clapping:

And Rosie, there is an abundance of fabulous Wineries. :glee:

And stoby poles, yiros, fritz, woodroofe lemonade, balfours, farmer's union, beaches. Shopping isn't that great in Adelaide but you can make do.

Oh loo we will have to make trips to see our parentals at the same time so we can escape together

Oh, that would be perfect!

It is also pronnounced LAY-GO not LEGGO.

My boy grew up in adelaide and he calls poppas juice boxes

And he says Fritz too. I always crack up. Im like, "babe... you do know its devon right?"

:chuckle:

Oh, that would be perfect!

It is also pronnounced LAY-GO not LEGGO.

So true!!

Devon isn't the same though!!!

They are fruit boxes - makes far more sense than poppa's!

Christmas in Adelaide is cool J2. And I can take you to the Parade, and Henley Square, and Rundle Mall and RUndle Street, and Handorf.

Oh I have always wanted to go to Rundle Mall!!

I am going down with them on the Anzac Long Weekend to check it all out. Wont say no to my own hotel room for 3 nights. Bliss.

Handorf.

I love the Adelaide Hills and have friends in Hahndorf. It is so quaint.

Where is the Lavender Farm? Or am I thinking of Vic?

DUnno, but count me out. I HATE lavender.

HUH???

Rundle Mall. It has balls.

And you can meet the Renaissance Centre guy - so funny. I wish they still had John Martins.

:chuckle::chuckle:

I got beaches and shopping, the rest I don't understand. :redcheeks:

And the shopping can't be worse than here.

Lets not tell hubby, so he thinks he has persuaded me. And I can bribe him, because I let him have his way :chuckle:

Hahaha, Adelaide Rocks!
We have Harbour town now, a discount shopping plaza thingy. With seconds stores and stuff. I got a wild pair of bright pink points there a few weeks ago. The shopping isn't all bad.

It is also pronnounced LAY-GO not LEGGO.
:chuckle: so that explains it! I have been paying out James for years about that pronunciation, now I know it is an SA thing not just his own weirdness :rollthoseeyes:

:chuckle: Is he still there? I know the Renaissance Centre closed a few years ago, but I'm pretty sure I saw him doing his thing somewhere else though. Oh how I used to dodge that area so I didn't have to go past him! But we've still got a very unique character who walks the streets of Adelaide, dressed only in Speedos and white gumboots, or a white leotard. He just walks the streets & doesn't talk to anyone, but he has become an icon here. I can't mention his name obviously or post pics, so you guys just have to come to Adelaide to see him! ;)

Loola - I miss John Martin's too! I used to shop there all the time!

In terms of shopping precincts, there are a few (but not as good as Melbourne though!):

- Rundle Mall obviously; then there's also Rundle Street which carries on from Rundle Mall - there's a few great shops there & also lots of cafes

- King William Road, Hyde Park and Unley Road, Hyde Park (just outside the city on the south side) - sort of like Melbourne's Chapel Street (but on a much much smaller scale).

- Burnside Village - about 15 minutes east of the city & a very exclusive suburb, with all upmarket/designer shops (and that's where our only Mecca store is!).

- Harbour Town - the factory outlets next to the airport.

- Westfield Marion - our biggest Westfield, which is about 25 minutes south of the city. Has a DJ's and Myer.

- The Parade, Norwood (5 minutes east of the city) - lots of boutiques and cafes

- Jetty Road, Glenelg (by the beach) - lots of cafes and shops

- O'Connell St and Melbourne St, North Adelaide - also has boutiques and lots of cafes/restaurants

There's quite a few other places, but I think they're the main ones.

Johnnnnnnnny! Have you seen his website?

I am all a bit homesick suddenly now :chuckle:

He is also on a very funny Nova TV Ad.

Aw, I wanna see. Might check their website.

I just looked at his website, funny stuff. We saw him dancing at the opening of the Fringe about a month ago. He was really getting down!!

Johnnnnnnnny! Have you seen his website?

:chuckle: Yes - that's so cool that he has a website. My cousin followed him around one day, just to see where he goes & what he does. He just walks the city streets & does nothing! And I like how he has 2 different outfits - one for summer (the Speedos and the gumboots), and he wears the leotard during the colder months.

The picture of the chick outside target with him crossing the lights I actually took!

He was fully clothed at the fringe. Jeans and a long sleeve top.

You're not Melissa!

I know! It was her camera - she was down from Sydney who was seeing my brother at the time, and she got scared of him and embarrassed and hid, so I made Ali stnad there and I took it.

Nah stupid Ali is haha. That was so long ago, back in 2000!

Oh, that would be perfect!

It is also pronnounced LAY-GO not LEGGO.

maybe it's an English thing as well , as my mum raised us with lay-go but we all conformed eventually to leggo

Yeah - people always think I am English - then I tell them I'm from Adelaide and they pat me on the head and say "Oh...I'm so sorry..."

South Australian's were free settled unlike the Eastern states with convicts, they acredit this for the difference in accents, aristocracy etc.
